We See You Sis...
Dealing with all the ups, downs, highs and lows of life can feel heavy and overwhelming at times. We often find ourselves feeling stuck, questioning our purpose, trying to figure out how to adult all while wearing several different hats and being expected to show up as our best selves. Some of our experiences have taken a negative toll and started to impact how we function...enters depression, anxiety, low self esteem, decreased self worth, intrusive thoughts, trust issues, unhealthy relationships, bad habits, identity issues, etc.
What are your traumas? What issues are plaguing you on a daily? What things/experiences have left you feeling stuck? Who or what are you grieving? What are your set backs? What things are keeping you from reaching your full potential?
We see you sis and we are here to help. You've already taken the first step by being on this website. Reach out and talk to us! We want you to heal, prosper, grow and become the healthiest version of yourself...your T.R.U.E. Self.
We Gotchu Bro...
For Our Brothas that Served Time...
Going to prison is a major life-altering event that not only creates barriers to building stable lives, but also wreaks havoc on one's mental health. You served your time, so why do you still feel imprisoned? Doing time should not equate to a lifetime sentence of internal imprisonment.
Whether you served time or not...
Are you finding it difficult to sleep? Are you experiencing nightmares? Do you find it difficult to adjust? - things may seem extremely different than what you remembered when you went in. Are you suffering in silence? - feeling angry, sad, depressed, anxious, paranoid, hypervigilant, uneasy, disappointed, stuck, unhappy. Are these feelings/experiences messing with you and your relationships? We gotchu bro...Come talk to us! Allow us to help and support you as you navigate all of what you are feeling and experiencing. Trauma is a real thing that we often experience more than we realize so it becomes a normalized experience...let's stop normalizing our trauma. We want you to experience both internal and external growth and wellness, so come see about us.
Youth Have Struggles Too...
Just because you're young doesn't mean you should only be seen and not heard. We know you have your own challenges in life. Just because you don't pay rent doesn't mean you don't have struggles.
School is overwhelming...trying to make the grades, have a decent social life, participate in extracurricular activities all while trying to not fold under peer pressure. If you are a senior in high school... you have to figure out what to do after you graduate. Maybe you are headed to college but feeling anxious about it or perhaps college is not for you so you need to figure out what's next..it's A LOT!
At home you sometimes feel invisible, unheard and unseen. Maybe you've had negative or traumatic encounters; now you're left feeling anxious and depressed. Maybe you're feeling the pressures of your guardian's expectations. You have chores, tasks, responsibilities but feeling disorganized and can't seem to keep up.
Perhaps you've had a recent break up or you want to date but not sure what that even means. Life is coming at you hard...you're trying to figure out who you are, what you like/dislike, what you want to do with you life. Perhaps you are unsure how to navigate your emotions and need to learn effective ways of coping. No matter the challenge, we are here to help you figure things out. While life is life-ing...we want you to be able to grow into the best version of yourself. It's giving...you don't have to be on the struggle bus because we gotchu!
